Welcome to Cyprus, the island of love.

Are you bringing a substantial amount of money with you ? ~ you will need it .

Plastering jobs ~ heavy competition from eastern european and turkish workers who will work for pea nuts ~

Sending your child to a english school ~ are you sure you will be able to afford it ~ especially if relying on the wages your husband may bring home ~ sadly you may not find work to suit your requirements.

No disrespect intended but you do indeed seem pretty clueless and need to do much more research before committing to the move across to wonderfully sunny but getting very expensive Cyprus.

I'm not surprised as most of the Turkish plasterers are working in the south and you are left with those wanting to rip you off .

I'm no expert but would have to agree here.
The developers in the south have hoards of Turks working for peanuts on their sites.

... who themselves are competing with Syrians who work for even less!
